Nick Kyrgios’ tennis is mesmerisingly brilliant. However, stats show his return game is one the worst but a bit more focus would take it to the next level!

iainfordyce

Nick Kyrgios brings brilliance to a tennis court. I have never been bored watching Nick playing tennis, I love the variety and skill he brings. I’ve even seen him play shots that I have gone and tried myself. He’s a tournament directors dream, he gets bums on seats and people on court! My only criticism is, I’ve sometimes come away feeling a little bit disappointed. Why is that? Nick has one of the best serves in tennis, his forehand is lightning fast, the way he snaps it is magnificent as his two handed backhand which I could watch all day. … Continue reading Nick Kyrgios’ tennis is mesmerisingly brilliant.

Nick Kyrgios delivered, for his country and for his team

iainfordyce

Nick Kyrgios has always divided opinion. I’ve always loved watching Nick play tennis. I find him imaginative and flawlessly brilliant. Not only has Nick showed up for his country in ATP Cup but he has used his voice to help those in crisis following the bush fires across Australia and deserves credit. Nick himself has said it isn’t about him and this is the side to Nick that doesn’t get spoken about enough. People make him out to be the bad boy of tennis but his heart is in the right place. Away from this, Nick has his own foundation … Continue reading Nick Kyrgios delivered, for his country and for his team

iainfordyce

In the first quarter final of the inaugural ATP Cup in Sydney it was team Australia who took a big lead and it came from who else but Nick Kyrgios! After a close couple of games and a problematic service game for the Australian who found himself down 15-40 he reeled off four points in a row and then ran away with the set in 29 minutes. The tennis from Nick got better and better as the set went on. The double break which pretty much sealed the fate of Cam Norrie in set one was sealed by this moment … Continue reading Nick Kyrgios 6-2 6-2 Cam Norrie; Australian serves up another master class as hosts remain unbeaten!

Ban impending? Nick Kyrgios is a tournament directors dream but a tournament referee’s nightmare. Is a ban the right choice?

iainfordyce

Is Nick playing? You can guarantee a full stadium. I last wrote about Nick after his Washington win on my way home from America. I wrote about how I don’t condemn his behaviour on court and previous issues but I look past that and appreciate his brilliance and how he is good for tennis. I’m not going to repeat what I wrote then but I will post a link at the bottom. Nick Kyrgios could be on the end of a ban very soon. Following some comments after his round one win at Flushing Meadows Nick was asked if the … Continue reading Ban impending?

Nick Kyrgios has always been good for tennis and why I hope we see more of his mesmerising brilliance

iainfordyce

Nick Kyrgios’ week in Washington was exceptional. I’m writing this piece on a flight from Orlando to London and is something I really wanted to write following Nick’s week in Washington. I’ve always loved watching Nick play and what he brings to the court. Some reading this will think I’m condemning some of his bad behaviour on court, I’m not at all and some has been out of order but I’m looking past that. On Wednesday 31st I got in a little early than expected due to a thunderstorm, turned on my iPad and Nick was playing! As ever it … Continue reading Nick Kyrgios has always been good for tennis and why I hope we see more of his mesmerising brilliance
